On her own, again? Susan Boyle who captured the heart of the world (and also this reporter) may be considering quitting the British version of “American Idol,” which catapaulted her to fame after her YouTube breakthrough, made her an instant Internet superstar. Rumor has it the 48-year-old underdog, dubbed the “Hairy Angel,” despite the fact that she is the clear fave to win, has been cracking under the pressure. She’s melted down with the press, suffering from nerves and stress that have her drowning in “floods of tears.” So, I ask you, should Susie buck up and fight the good fight to be #1? Or is it time for her to make this whole pop culture juggernaut a memory? What say you, Susie fans?

Beam me up! The new STAR TREK movie approaches and I am doing a story on local trekkies (or trekkers, if you insist). I’m looking for folks who know their Tribbles from their Triskelions and want to share what they love about Trek, how they show their devotion (speak Klingon? wear Star Fleet uniform to mow the lawn? or just have naughty thoughts about Patrick Stewart? or maybe that’s just me) and what they respond to in the franchise, be it the promise of a utopian future or something less philosophical like asteriod shoot-em-ups. Just post something here and I’ll contact you. Live long and prosper people. Captain’s Blog Supplemental:

There was a minitremor on the Interwebs today when Diablo3.com was picked up by Blizzard, according to Gamespot. The fansite that originally held the URL was contacted by Blizzard, and they talked about transferring it over.

Hmm, something fishy is going on. Well, actually, I think it would smell more like fire and brimstone maybe a little sulfur. If you can add two and two together, you can probably see where this is going. Why would Blizzard want a Diablo3.com domain name?

OK Sherlock, Blizzard says it knows what you think you know and it says what you think you know “shouldn’t be considered an announcement.” But we all know that what Blizzard thinks we shouldn’t know is probably true. In short, Diablo 3 could be closer than we think. Maybe. Possibly.
